General Commentary and Game Overview
Mr. Pence has been a lot better off ever since he kicked his ketamine habit and went to therapy for the scars left in his psyche by the Vietnam war. His war buddy Curtis might never come back, but at least he stars in this solid game about traveling the world or whatever.
 
Pros + Decent level design
+ Fun little plot
+ Creative levels
+ Solid music
 
Cons - Doesn't exactly "wow"
- The sound effects get a bit annoying
- Some of the levels look a bit wonky
 
Impressions
Gameplay
8 / 10
The gameplay is solid. You barely get stuck on the scenery at all, and your fireballs mostly go where they're supposed to. There are also Germino levels where you can't shoot at all, offering a nice little change of pace.

The level design is a step up from some of the earlier Mr. P games too. They're not just flat stretches of land any more. Some of them also have interesting themes, like cheese.

The plot isn't brilliant or anything, but the writing's pretty fun (and the main villain might shock you (not clickbait (cops called (AT 3 AM!!!)))).
 
Graphics
8 / 10
The graphics are, for the most part, good. Some of the levels look a bit wonky, but some of them are almost amazing (cheese level, anyone?). The original graphics made for the game are pretty funny too.
 
Sound
8 / 10
The soundtrack consists of some pretty banger tunes, and the sound effects are aight too (though the jumping sounds get a bit annoying, and the semifinal boss music can barely be heard over all the SFX spam).
 
Final Words
8 / 10
You don't have to travel the world to know which game you should play (this one).
